We present photometries of the Southern Milky Way (
) in the U, V and R-passbands.
The resolution is 
. Together with the
B-photometry (Kimeswenger et al. 1993 = Paper VII), this paper gives
final results of the Bochum Super-Wide-Angle-Camera photographs obtained
in 1971 at La Silla, calibrated by means of accompanying photoelectric
observations. The techniques employed and procedures used for the
reductions are the same as described in Paper VII, and the references
quoted therein. Therefore, this paper is restricted to those points, where
either modifications proved to be necessary or additional information will
help to judge the accuracy obtained. For this purpose, the chapters are
arranged in the same manner as in Paper VII.
